DON'T TELL ME NOT TO LOVE YOU
(Faith / Kehner)

as recorded by Joni James
with orchestra conducted by David Terry
1956


Don't tell me not to love you,
Not to love you,
Not love you!

Tell me I can't have you,
Tear my dreams apart,
Tell me if you have to
Make my heartaches start!

But don't tell me not to love you,
For I'll always love you
With all of my heart!

Tell me you can't be mine,
Now or any day,
Tell me that it's foolish
To go on this way!

But don't tell me not to love you,
For I'll always love you,
Yes I'll always love you,
No matter what you say!

Tell me you can't be mine,
Now or any day,
Tell me that it's foolish
To go on this way!

But don't, don't tell me not to love you,
For I'll always love you,
Yes I'll always love you,
No matter what you say!
